I was in Baltimore once and walked 5 blocks in from the dock area to get crab cakes from an indoor pubic market so I have a pretty good understanding of inner city plight

So I missed this when it happened but apparently last year the Atlanta organist wrote a referee video review song to play during reviewed calls that annoyed the refs so much it got banned after two games. https://soundcloud.com/sirfoster/video-review It's so loving good.

Using rich as an insult for people who've watched the wire when it's probably more popular with underemployed college graduates than with people making 7 figures, is silly. The people who keep talking about the wire a decade later, they're not rich, they just seem rich because they're old and had more time to accumulate money, or they work for a clickfarm website and live 8 to a single room in a major american city. Anyway if you want to be serious about the wire, Bodie is the fans of the Detroit Pistons and Chicano Bulls combined, maybe the Pacers too, and probably the Bucks after their PE owners dumped a good GM for some random guy from the front office.

There was a full music video for Video Review but the NBA has entirely scrubbed it from the internet. It was wonderful.

Every arena needs an organist or someone to play music specifically for the game. The same songs looped 100 times Everybody should not clap their hands That's why I like NBAHD replays, I can watch without commercials, mute the call and just watch the game with some music playing. If I could get a feed with just court mics and play my own music, that would be ideal. Commentators are a legacy of low res tv and radio. You don't have to tell me what's happening unless you're getting into the nuts and bolts of some action that might not be obvious.

But in baseball and basketball i'll put on music or a podcast while watching.

The perfect commentator would be someone who was mostly quiet but hooted and hollered whenever there was a sick dunk or crossover.

So why did Lorne "The Marksman" Markington go instead of DSJr to a team that actually needs a point guard, anyway? I mean, why did the Bulls ask for basically somebody with a ceiling of Niko 1.5?

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:So why did Lorne "The Marksman" Markington go instead of DSJr to a team that actually needs a point guard, anyway? Because GarPax think that Kris Dunn is their point guard of the future in the same way that Vivek believes that Buddy Hield is the Kings's Steph Curry of the future. They're very wrong about this but it's what they think

Dennis Smith Jr. is also a prospect with some legitimate (and possibly silly) question marks. He wasn't even the next point guard off the board after the Bulls pick! Just, uh, ignore the fact that the Knicks were the team that passed on him As for Markkanen, check Rick's post history if you want to see someone who truly believes in his ceiling. It's not all that hard to see why a 19 year old 7-footer who shot 42% on threes is an appealing prospect though

The bulls already traded half their team for 3 point guards, they honestly believe Dunn is the future xbilkis posted:Dennis Smith Jr. is also a prospect with some legitimate (and possibly silly) question marks.
